Chapter 42: The Qinglou Robbery
When Su Ling opened his eyes again, he found himself in a brightly colored room, filled with a pungent fragrance.
She tried to move, only to find herself tied to a bed, and her clothes had been changed into a maiko outfit at some point. Exposed and charming, the white flesh can be faintly seen.
Su Ling tried to open his mouth to speak, but found that a piece of cloth was stuffed in his mouth.
Her pupils looked at the unfamiliar everything in front of her in shock, and a sense of unease welled up in her heart. She remembered that she was obviously in front of the door of Jiangfu before she fell unconscious, and then she met Qing'er, and then she arrived at this place, could it be that Qing'er kidnapped her?
She shifted her gaze to the purple screen and heard a conversation of Suosuo.
Outside the door, the sound was noisy and full of coquettishness.
"I'll leave it to you, if you don't do what she tells you to do, you know the consequences." A familiar voice came, and Su Ling remembered that it was Qing'er's voice.
A woman with a mellow voice pretended to be charming and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely cultivate this girl well, and her appearance will definitely be our top brand in the future." β
Listening to the conversation between the two, Su Ling realized that he was now in the Qinglou.
She struggled desperately to get up and run away, but her whole body was weak. She looked at a delicate incense burner on the agarwood table not far away, and it must have been the incense that made her feel weak.
Su Ling's eyes were full of despair, she didn't want to lose herself here, she hadn't asked Qingjiang Duan Chen why she had turned her back on her, she hadn't lived the life she wanted. She tried her best to move her body, but when she moved to the edge of the bed, she fell heavily to the ground. The sudden noise alarmed the two people outside the door.
Qing'er and a fancy-dressed woman pushed the door open.
When the woman saw Su Ling who fell to the ground, her face immediately changed, she stared at Su Ling with fierce eyes, she dragged her up from the ground with brute force, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Okay, you little girl, you don't see that you still want to run, let me tell you, when you enter our Chenghuan Fang, you don't want to go out again." β
"Let go of me, I'm Jiang Duanchen's fiancΓ©e, you can't do this to me." Su Ling said with all his might.
The woman said with a sneer: "Yo, I still think I am the wife of the prime minister, let me tell you, when you enter my Chenghuan Fang, you are born as a person in the workshop, and death is a ghost in the workshop, don't think about fooling people in your life and saying that you want to go back to live a good life." β
Su Ling struggled hard, and the woman called a group of strong men with an angry face, "A few of you hold her down for me, and let my mother teach her the rules of Chenghuanfang." β
Several strong men in coarse linen clothes immediately broke into the door, held Su Ling's hands and feet viciously, and imprisoned her on the bed.
Su Ling struggled desperately, but her strength was too small, and she couldn't beat those strong men after all, so she watched the woman withdraw her clothes in front of the strong men.
"Don't! I was wrong, I was wrong! Please, don't do that. Su Ling pleaded in despair.
The woman looked at her begging for mercy, and then stopped with satisfaction, she looked at Su Ling's looming body, and her eyes were full of appreciation, "Your appearance is really good, it's still a place, tomorrow I invite some big bosses to serve me well, and the benefits are naturally indispensable." β
Su Ling listened to the explicit words of the woman in front of her, thinking of everything she was about to face, her emotions gradually collapsed, and she silently shed tears.
Tears slid down his cheeks, a little cold. When the woman saw her pitiful appearance, she pretended pity and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Then the woman turned to Qing'er who was standing aside and said, "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely watch her, please ask the girl to say a few kind words for me when she returns to the palace." β
"Got it." Qing'er said expressionlessly, and then glanced at Su Ling, who was depressed, "It's not too early, I'll go back to my life first." β
Qing'er turned around and was about to leave, but Su Ling suddenly broke free from the grip of the group of strong men, knelt down and crawled towards Qing'er, grabbed her arm and said, "Qing'er, take me to meet him, please." β
Qing'er lowered her eyebrows and glanced at Su Ling, her eyes were ruthless, she squatted down, pinched Su Ling's cheek, and sneered, "Haven't you given up until now?" You are simply people of two worlds, you are not worthy of him, so why bother looking for him. If you hadn't offended your mother, you wouldn't have fallen to this. I can't save you, and I can't save myself. Su Ling, you are really stupid. β
Su Ling really didn't understand why Ahuai, who had tried his best to protect himself, would become what he was now.
There was puzzlement in her eyes, "Ahuai, why did you become the way you are now?" β
"I'm not Ahuai, I'm Qing'er, I'm an orphan with no father and no mother, I can only judge the situation and live every day. I'm not like you, I won't fight against forces I can't mess with for the sake of ethereal things, this is my way of survival. β
Qing'er smiled fiercely, and her originally bright and moving cheeks became terrifying and embarrassing at the moment.
Su Ling looked at the unfamiliar appearance of the person in front of her, and kept recalling her sentence in her mind, "I'm not Ahuai." β
Therefore, Ahuai really died in the year of the trick and died in the bandit mountain.
The bad news hit Su Ling one after another, and she really couldn't hold on anymore.
Originally, she thought that she had met the best man in the world, and her best friend had returned to her. But now, it's all illusory.
Qing'er shook Su Ling away fiercely, and instructed the woman: "Give me a good look at her, don't let me know that she ran out from here." β
"Got it, girl." The woman pulled Su Ling back, took out a porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out a pill, and vigorously broke Su Ling's lips.
Su Ling's face turned pale, and she subconsciously resisted and said, "What is this?" β
"It's a good thing to learn to serve. Give me my mouth! The woman thrust into her lips.
Su Ling closed her pink lips tightly, gritted her teeth tightly, her expression was full of fear, she wanted to escape, but was rudely dragged back by the strong man. Her arm was red from the tug, and she felt a sharp pain as if her arm had been torn off when she resisted.
Qing'er looked at the people who were entangled with each other and silently exited the room. She left Chenghuanfang with a cold expression, the snow was extraordinarily heavy tonight, and Qing'er only felt extremely cold when she left Chenghuanfang.
She tightened her cloak, summoned a carriage, and headed for Shangque City.
Leaving Jinping Street, the candlelight on the road gradually disappeared, and the lantern in the driver's hand shone faintly in the night. A dark shadow swept in the wind. The lantern in the driver's hand fell to the ground.
Qing'er, who felt something strange, asked tentatively, "What happened?" β
Without an answer, she leaned out to check, only to find Xue Fei standing outside the carriage.
"Xue Gongzi? How did you end up here? Qing'er asked in surprise.
Xue Fei put his sword between Qing'er's neck and asked in a cold voice, "Where is Su Ling?" β
"I don't know."
The candle flame of the lantern was reflected on Qing'er's face, and there were no waves.
The strength in Xue Fei's hand deepened by three points, and the sharp sword cut through Qing'er's delicate skin, and he asked again, "Where is Su Ling?" β
"Even if you kill me, I won't tell you." Qing'er had no fear in her eyes, she knew that Xue Fei liked her.
Xue Fei withdrew the sword in his hand, walked closer to her, stared at her with straight eyes and said, "Is this your choice?" followed the queen and abandoned your friends? β
Qing'er also looked back at him straight, and said in a cold voice: "We are not friends. β
"As long as you tell Su Ling's whereabouts, I will plead with Gongzi and spare your life." Xue Fei's eyes were full of reluctance.
"I won't say it, if Xue Gongzi is fine, let me go." Qing'er wanted to return to the carriage, but was stopped by Xue Fei.
He quickly removed the clothes and belts on his body, tied Qing'er's hands, and drove the carriage like Jinping Street.
"What are you doing!" Qing'er exclaimed.
Xue Fei replied outside the carriage: "Go back to her." If you can't find her, you don't want to go back to the Imperial City. β
"She's in Chenghuanfang!" Qing'er finally told Su Ling's whereabouts, after all, Nie Yunhua said that she would go back to her life tonight, and if the hour passed, she wouldn't want to die.
Xue Fei learned of Su Ling's whereabouts and did not let go of Qing'er. Qing'er scolded angrily in the carriage: "Let me go!" β
"I'm not going to let you go." Xue Fei didn't say much after saying this, and let Qing'er shout in the carriage.
He soon came to the door of Chenghuanfang. He raised his sword and pressed into it despite the obstacles of the crowd.
The subordinates were shocked by Xue Fei's sudden visit, and hurriedly went to Su Ling's room to call Liu's mother, "Mother Liu is not good, someone is coming to make trouble!" β
When the woman who was slapping Su Ling heard the news, she immediately called the strong man next to her to go out and settle the troublemaker.
Only then did the strong man let go of Su Ling, Su Ling's cheeks were red and swollen at the moment, and the corners of her mouth were bloodstained, she desperately bit her lip in order not to eat the pill, and the rust-smelling blood stained her entire lip red.
Her hair bun and clothes were messy, Mother Liu glared back at Su Ling, and threw away a sentence, "Be honest with me, don't try to run away, and I'll treat you when I come back." Then he left the room and locked the door.
Mother Liu hurriedly came to the door of Chenghuan Fang, and found that Xue Fei was fighting with the strong men in the workshop. He was merciless in his moves, like a bloodthirsty beast, as long as someone stopped him, he would die under his sword, because he didn't know what Su Ling would suffer in a few minutes later.
"Where's Su Ling!" Xue Fei stepped on the fallen corpses, with fierceness in her eyes, and Mother Liu saw that the comer was not good, and was about to turn around and run away, but was noticed by Xue Fei.
Xue Fei jumped in front of Mother Liu's eyes with a flying body, the cold sword blade was against Mother Liu's neck, and he said with a cold look in his eyes: "Where is Su Ling?" β
"Who is Su Ling, I'...... I don't know. Mother Liu said with a fluctuating expression.
"Don't pretend to be garlic for me, if something happens to the girl Qing'er brought, everyone in your workshop will bury her." Xue Fei's eyes were fierce, and Mother Liu was so frightened that she shivered, she didn't expect that she would provoke such a ruthless character.
With her life at stake, Mother Liu hurriedly pointed to Su Ling's room, "There, this...... Here's the key. She trembled and handed the key to Xue Fei.
Xue Fei took the key and knocked Liu's mother unconscious, and then ran to Su Ling's room.
The moment she opened the door, Su Ling thought it was Mother Liu again, and she was so frightened that she curled up beside the bed. Xue Fei looked at the tortured woman in front of him, and subconsciously frowned. If Jiang Duanchen knew about this appearance, I am afraid that the entire Jinping Street would suffer.
He took off the black robe on his body and draped it over Su Ling's body. After Su Ling raised her eyes to see the person who came, tears instantly fell like pearls, and she asked with a trembling voice, "Where is Jiang Duanchen?"
Xue Fei lowered his head and said softly: "I'm sorry Miss Su, Son, he has something to delay, we are late." β
Knowing that Jiang Duanchen was in the future, Su Ling's eyes became dim again.
She was helped to stand up by Xue Fei in a trance, and just took two steps when an arrow suddenly stabbed into Su Ling's arms.
Blood splashed on Xue Fei's face, his pupils immediately dilated, and he looked stiffly at the arrow in Su Ling's chest, and when he raised his eyes and looked forward, Qing'er was standing at the door with a bow.
Xue Fei saw that she wanted to shoot a second arrow, and subconsciously raised his sword to stab at her.
The sound of the iron sword cutting through the skin came out, and Qing'er looked at the man in front of her and the sword stabbed in the chest in disbelief.
The corners of her mouth showed a miserable smile, she didn't expect that her final bet was wrong, and Xue Fei would really kill her regardless of her liking.
It turned out that she was a joke in the eyes of others.
Before she died, Qing'er seemed to see Lomisar smiling at her, and she reached out to touch his face, but fell heavily to the ground.
So she laughed at Su Ling for not being worthy of Jiang Duanchen, why couldn't she get what she loved.
The cold wind hit, Chenghuanfang let out a scream, the smell of blood mixed in the cold wind, Xue Fei walked out silently with Su Ling in his arms.
